New Crisis Develops in British
V Political Situation.
"DIE - HARDS" REJOICING
Publication of Document Without
Consulting Imperial Cabinet
Stirs London Circles.
r.OXrON, March 9. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) The Indian crisis,
which has developed into a "sensa
tion," if anything, exceeding the re
cent crisis ' over tne premiership,
threatens to involve the prime min
ister And the coalition in still graver
difficulties - The resignation of
Edwin S. Montagu, secretary for
India,; which in -many quarters was
called a dismissal, has excited such
Intense manifestations of joy In the
"die hard" camp that there is an in
clination- to see some connection be
ween the two crises.
Moreover, it provoked speculation
concerning the position of ,, the
Viceroy. Lord Reading, whose action
In publishing the Indian govern
ment's note was interpreted as an
Intention to force' the hand of the
imperial government.
Lord Reading, desiring to publish
the offending document, sought per
mission of the secretary for . India,
who technically is. hia superior, to
make the statement public in India.
Mr. Montagu, without consulting the
cabinet, and while the prime minister
was confined to his room by illness,
grave permission, and Lord Reading
had the statement published in In
dia, from whicli country it was tele
graphed through the ordinary chan
nels to- the British, press.
Cabinet Disapproves Action. -
Mr. Montagu's cabinet colleagues
took the ground that he should have
withheld permission and simply
brought the matter to the attention
of the premier and cabinet for their
mature consideration.
Nothing is known as yet regarding
Mr. Montagu's successor, or what
position Lord Reading holds in the
jaffair from the official viewpoint, but
It was believed that the next Indian
secretary will be a unionist and
probably a member of the house of
lords, which would be a concession to
the unionists, who are demanding
greater influence In the coalition.
A story is current that the prime
minister, while lying in bed looking
over the morning papers, was amazed
to read the India document. He im
mediately summoned Secretary Mon
tagu and other ministers to Downing
etreet. Lord High Chancellor Birken
head, Austen Chamberlain and Mr.
Churchill considered the matter with
the premier, and it was decided
unanimously that Mr. Montagu could
r,ot possibly retain office. Thereupon
the ' premier sent to Mr. Montagu a
formal request for his resignation.
Cabinet Backs Premier?""
It was understood the remaining
members of the cabinet later indorsed
the action taken, ' they holding the
view that Mr. Montagu was not en
titled to permit publication.
The announcement . of Secretary
Montagu's resignation was received
In the house of commons with fierce
Welcoming cheers from a majority
of the unionists and "die hards," the
latter particularly evincing pleasure.
Some of . the radicals professed to
believe that Mr. Montagu's retirement
is intended to appease the "die hards."
although at the same time generally
draining that the untimely publica
tion of the offending document grave
ly prejudiced the negotfations for
revision of the Sevres ' treaty, and
was ltely to produce a serious ef
fect in India.
100 New Places Arranged for Use
at Grand Opera.
By the construction of a series of
elevations for seats the seating ca
pacity of Portland's public auditorium
has been increased by 1000 seats.
Hie work was completed yesterday
by T. A. Huffaker, master mechanic
of the building, and will be a per
manent part of the building, increas
ing the capacity of good seats from
3700 to 4705.
The plan as worked out Tlaces ten
rows of seats in each of the assembly
rooms directly to the side of the
main floor. Each row of seats is
elevated four inches above the row
in front, thus affording an excellent
view of the stage. Heretofore seats
placed in these rooms were on the
flat floor and back of the first two
rows the stage was not visible. Now
the entire stage will be- visible from
these seats. When the side rooms
are needed for other . purposes the
seats and elevations may be removed
and ' stored away.
The need for the extra seats tbe
came apparent when the seat sale
opened recently for the five great
performances of the Chicago grand
opera company. It became evident
that the people of the northwest were
going to flock to these performances
in thousands and that the audito
rium would not be adequate to care
for the crowds. Therefore orders
went out for immediate erection of
the elevations.
For the Chicago company's per
formances they are already sold for
several rows back, even though they
have only been in the sale a few
days. Also for the Chicago perform
ances the natural seating capacity of
the building has been increased by
adding rows of seats in .the wids
aisle3 in the balconies.'
PATROLMAN IS OUSTED
Harry Stanton Discharged;. Guy
Simpkins Suspended 5 Months.
Guy Simkins, police patrolman
drew a suspension of five months and
Harry Stanton, patrolman, was per
manently discharged from the force
by order of the- civil service board
yesterday. Simkins' suspension dates
from the time he was temporarily
suspended, December 6. He will re
port back for duty on May 5. '
The two officers, who were motor
cycle policemen out of the Sunnyside
station, imbibed a. few drinks of
liquor when sent out to a wedding
anniversary party ... at an east-side
home. Testimony showed that Sim
kins was not under the influence of
liquor, while his superior officers
characterized him as a fearless, effi
cient policeman.
Chief Jenkins made a written rec
ommendation for a 90-day suspension
for Simkins, but the board thought
the offense serious enough to war
rant an additional two months. 1
